Silvestre Abarca. Un ingeniero militar al servicio de la monarquía hispana

Abstract

La labor realizada por los ingenieros militares que trabajaron al servicio de la corona española, especialmente de quienes desarrollaron su labor a lo largo del siglo XVIII, es un tema parcialmente trabajado por la historiografía, a pesar del protagonismo que estos profesionales tuvieron en los acontecimientos históricos de la centuria. Con la edición de este estudio se quiere superar tal situación, analizando la trayectoria vital y profesional del ingeniero militar Silvestre Abarca. Su labor como miembro del Real Cuerpo de Ingenieros Militares evidencia la importancia de este colectivo y ayuda a comprender los diferentes planteamientos y teorías defensivas adoptadas en España y sus posesiones de ultramar, así como las tácticas para el control del territorio. La excelencia e ingenio de sus trabajos todavía son apreciables en varios puntos de la Península, especialmente en Cádiz, y en La Habana, protagonizando la remodelación defensiva de ambas ciudades y siendo partícipe de varias obras civiles de gran valor estético y funcional. Su carrera al servicio de la corona incluyó, en una última fase, la reforma del Real Cuerpo de Ingenieros y numerosos trabajos de asesoramiento en América, Europa y el norte de África.
